My Chicago Marathon Fundraiser!

Running 26.2 miles to support children and families in need :)

Why I'm running for #TeamSCC

I’m running the Chicago Marathon this October in support of Special Children’s Charity!

I’ve always wanted to run a marathon, and this felt like the right time to push myself while also doing something that actually gives back. Training for this race is a challenge in itself, but knowing it supports children and families who rely on these programs makes it that much more meaningful.

I’ll be training over the next few months and sharing the process along the way. I’m also working toward a fundraising goal, and every contribution truly makes a difference.

If you feel inclined to donate or share, I’d really appreciate the support!

(For those who prefer, donations can also be made by check. Feel free to reach out and I can share details.)

Again, thank you for supporting the thousands of participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Chicago!
